Have who do what? Are you suggesting that my users should be allowed install stuff on their workstations? That's absurd.
people who reply to your questions cant possibly know what sorts of policies you have in place at work. if you dont want to allow users to install stuff, then your options are to install it for them or implement some kind of central management/installation service if you dont have one already. or install pdfcreator on one windows computer and share it from there.
Much easier for my users to just print something and have the work done for them, then have to open and use some other software. Thanks for the suggestion though.
in case you didnt get it pdfcreator IS a virtual printer driver, so is for example win2pdf. you just print to the "printer" and it asks you where you want to save the pdf. exactly like the linux system you have in place except its on their own machine. this is in fact even easier for your users than them having to then go open their mail client and save the attachment from there. sadly, ive not yet encountered a linux printer->pdf filter that is as good as win2pdf.
